Mrs. O’Shea says “ We were delighted when we met with Peter Grant and found that the artists needed a place to display the work of local artists. We immediately offered them free use of our vacant storefront facing the square. They are pulling it together really quickly. We are really looking forward to the transformation of this corner of the Square..” HAL is the oldest non-profit in HSV with 50 years of service to the Huntsville community. It was established in 1957 and was instrumental in transforming the dream of the Art museum into a reality. They provide art classes for all skill levels. They also frequently have receptions to introduce artists and their art to the community. According to Peter Grant of Huntsville Art League, “At first we will display art in the windows which will give everyone on the Square an opportunity to see what our artists are doing. We will continue to fill the space until we have a gallery. We plan to have receptions and other events in this beautiful location.” Watch the windows for more!
